- In the Michael Fleming column of Variety he mentions that one of the people Cameron Crowe wants as a supporting role in his new film is Jason Lee. Apparently, Crowe is a Lee fan and wants him for an audition for his next yet untitled project. This is just rumor at this point, but a good sign we may be seeing Lee on the big screen in another big flick in the future. Here’s some more details on the casting:
While Cameron Crowe labors to replace Brad Pitt in his upcoming untitled film about the music biz for DreamWorks, he’s secured one up-and-comer who might be musically well established by the time the film comes out. Just cast in the ensemble is Bijou Phillips, the 18-year old former model whose first album, “I’d Rather Eat Glass,†is getting released this week by Almo Records.
She’s the half-sister of Wilson Phillips singer Chynna Phillips and daughter of Mamas and the Papas founder John Phillips. She made her screen debut in the James Toback-directed “Black & White.†Her music career’s being steered by former ICM music head Jonny Podell and screen career by ICM’s Nick Styne and manager Janet Billig. Crowe’s not yet completed casting, but names being mentioned for the ensemble include Jason Lee, Noah Taylor, Fairuza Balk and Anna Paquin. After what Crowe’s “Jerry Maguire†did for Tom Cruise, every young leading man is vying for the role Pitt vacated. Meryl Streep, who was once mentioned for a lead, is also out.
